Post-Conviction Relief Immigration Lawyer MacDonald announces the resolution of a case.

Post-Conviction Relief Lawyer John E. MacDonald announces the successful resolution of another case.

2009 conviction for assault with a dangerous weapon vacated after a contested post-conviction relief hearing in Providence Superior Court.

Client was never advised by his attorney that his conviction for assault with a dangerous weapon constituted an aggravated felony conviction under immigration law.

After hearing, the trial court found that pursuant to the United State’s Supreme Court’s decision of Padilla v. Kentucky, the attorney had a duty to fully advise client about the certainty of deportation.

Client is now eligible to re-open and terminate removal proceedings.
